Application lcdn November 4.1El86. Serial No. 217,937. (-No modelaTorrington, in the county 4of Litchfield and .State of Connecticut, haveinvented new Improvemeuts in Ceiling Attachments for Rolls and Slitters;and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection withaccom! panymg drawingsand the letters of reference Vmarked thereon, tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which saiddrawings constitute part ot' this specilication, and

represent, inN Y Figure I, a front vicw'oi apair of rol1s,show

ing the ceiling apparatus upon the delivery' side of said'rollsgliig. 2,a vertical transversey section cutting through the carriage,bendingvrollers., and rolls, enlarged.

This invention relates to an attachment to be applied to slieetnnetalrolling and slitting apparatus, havingI for its object tocoil the sheeto'r strips as they pass from the machine'.

In slitting sheet metal-hat is, cutting' it into 'narrow strips forvarious purposes-the strips have been wound upon a drum usually by anattendant turning the drum as fast as the strips aredelivered. The sheetitself, when not slit, is alsowound in the same manner, it beingunderstood that this' invention applies particularly to that-class of"metal which is rolled in long continuous sheets or strips.

The prime object ofmy invention is to avoid the drinn hitherto used andmake the winding automatic.

In illustrating the invention I show a single pair of rolls, A 1,3,arranged in uprights CCi'n the usual manner, andso that power is appliedthereto to act upon the sheet as it passes between the two rolls, themethod of driving the rolls and their arrangement being too well knownto require detailed description. Upon the delivery side of the rolls Iarrange a carriage, l), in a gnideway, ILthe said guideway beingparallel with the rolls A B and extending from one upright to the other,and so that the carriage maybe moved to any'point between the uprightsand in aplane parallel with the rolls. In the carriage I) threerollersI", il, and II, are arranged, their axes being parallel Awith theaxes of the rolls A B, and the several rolls geared together, asindicated in Fig. 1, so that revolution is vimparted to the rolls inthedirection indicated by the arrofws,

`rFig. 2. The two rollersG H are best arran ed in the same plane and-the roller F above, ut in a plane between the two rollers G H, so thatthe roller F may be depressed to some extent between the two rollers GHin the usual man` ner for -bendingrollers, the extent of the bendimparted by the rollers F G II depending upon the extent to which therollerF isdcpressed between the two rollers GII, this beinga coin- Inonarrangement of rollers for bending-purposes. f I I Longitudinallythrough the carriage is a shaft, I, taking its bearings in uprights,butso as to permit the carriage to' be moved longi tudinally thereon. y'The shaft I carries a piuion7 lJ, which gears into the pinionsontherespec'tive rollers, and so that the revolution of the shaft I willimpart corresponding rcvolution to 'the rollersilr y 'The pinion .I issplined to the shaft I, so as to partake of its revolutionbut yet sothat it lmay be moved with the carriage longitudinally,

and so that the carriage may be set at any desired position between theuprights and yet the rollers be in connection with the shalt I.

Revolution is imparted to the shaft Ith rough a driven pulley, K,carrying apinion, Lwhieh ,Works into a gear, M, on the'shaft I. Fixedtothe carriage D above the rollers is a curved receiver, N, the curvebeing backward an'd upward from the rollers, so as to present a concavesurface forward.

As the sheet or strips, as the case may be, passes through the rolls Alit enters between the muere F o H, and by umso routeur G n;

is given a curve, turning the sheet or str1 ps upward and backward,according to the curve, and carrying the strips or sheet onto thereceiver N, and because of the curvcgiyen to" the "sheet or strips theconstant advauc'eof the sheetV or strips onto the curved receiver N1causes the sheet or strips so on the receiver to constantly revolve, andthus coils the sheet or..

vstrips on the receiver as fast as it is delivered through .thebending-rollers Ill-G II, the coiled meta-1 resting and rollingon thereceiver so long as it shall continue tobe t delivered from c rco Itwill be understood that if the metal be slit', 4

the loen'dirig-rollers.`

that auch' slitting is performed before it arrives at thebending-rollers, and as the strips are delivered Side by side throughthe rollers they thus pass onto the receiver N and will be accordinglycoiled thereon, and Whenever the whole strip or sheet has been thusdelivered upon the receiver, or at any time during the coilingoperation, the coiled portion may be'removed by severing it from theadvancing portion.

The object of arranging the carriage to slide longitudinally is that theprincipal rollers may be used at different points on their lengththatis, after havin'g rolled for a time at one point the carriage may bemoved and set at another point, so that the coiling will be produced atthat point; but in case the ceiling apparatus corresponds to the lengthof the rolls then the ceiling apparatus may be a fixture.

I claim- 1. The herein-described ceiling attachment for sheet-metalrolls and slitters, consisting in the revolving bending-rollers F G H,adapted to receive the metal to be coiled auditnpart to it the ceilingbend, combined with acurved receiver, N, fixed in the described relationto the bending-rollers, substantially as described,and whereby as thesheet or strips come through the rollers they will be delivered upon`said receiver and coiled thereon under the delivering action of therollers.

2. lThe combination of the rolls A B, the carriage D, arranged on aguide parallel with and upon the delivery side of said rolls A B, reVolving bending-rollers F G arranged in said carriage, their axesparallel with the axes of the rollsA B, and curved receiver N, fixed tosaid carriage and upon the delivery side of said rollers F G H,Substantially as and for the prpose described. y
